Zachary Cruz, 18, was arrested at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and charged with
trespassing on school grounds, a Broward Sheriff's Office report said.
The teen was recorded by security cameras riding his skateboard at the school around 4:30 p.m.
though he had received prior warnings from school officials to stay away from the campus, the
report said.
Zachary Cruz told the arresting deputy that he was there to "reflect on the school shooting and
to soak it in," according to the report. It added that the teen had "surpassed all locked doors and
gates and proceeded to ride his skateboard through school grounds."
The youth's brother, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, has been charged with 17 counts of first-degree
murder in connection with the Feb. 14 shooting.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that documents show some officials recommended in
September 2016 that Nikolas Cruz be involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation, though the
recommendation was never acted upon.
Such a commitment would have made it more difficult, if not impossible, for Cruz to have legally
obtained a gun such as the AR-15 assault-style rifle used in the shooting.
